Frugal things I did this week

Nothing too earth shattering!

Got a free lunch (Panera Bread) at work on Monday. Sandwich, salad, roll and a HUGE cookie. Filled myself up good, so I wasn't hungry for dinner and just made DH a pot pie and DD had some leftovers. Looks like from the calendar at work we get a free lunch next Monday, too.

Worked from home Tuesday - saved $10 in gas (I see gas is going up a lot this past week...grrr...)

Ordered the vacuum cleaner bags (I can only find them online) shipped to Walmart so I'd have free shipping.I waited until I had some shopping to do there to go pick up and do all in one trip.

Ran some errands while I was already out running another errand

Free breakfast with Mom

Made some dinners (instead of take out) this week - good for me since I hate cooking and am always tired by the time it's time to make dinner
Meatloaf
Pizza
French Dip sandwiches
Soup and Sandwiches
Cheesy bacon hashbrown casserole

Ordered a discounted Petco gift card to save over 25% on special dog food
